They'll be aight. They still need experience. And health on their side.

:heh: @ you thinking they can make it out the first round.

We only been to the Playoffs once since Eazy-E died. I'll be :obama: just getting in the playoffs. From there we can build like OKC. Barnes,Thompson,Curry are only gonna get better. We gotta give our 1st round pick to Utah next season, I wanna give them a terrible pick and making the playoffs would do that.

They're headed in the right direction. Remember how hard the Clippers celebrated after Memphis last year? They know how hard that shyt was. Especially since they had never been through anything as a team.

You gotta have realistic expectations for your squad. Cats see your posts and be like :dwillhuh:.

Be patient. :smugdraper:

Im realistic. I seen us go from the 8th seed and beat the 1st seed in Dallas. Once your in the playoffs anything can happen. Im not saying we can beat an OKC or LAL. But I refuse to say Memphis would beat us in a 7 game series because I don't know that. I refuse to say the Clippers would because I don't see many positions besides 1 and 4 where they are better than us. Maybe im right or maybe im wrong. I like our chances tho.

Not hatin on your list or anything but can you break it down why you think Dallas is better than Golden State? Im looking at the Dallas roster and I just don't see how they're better. What positions do you think they're better at besides maybe PF?

Dallas really ain't that much better than GS, I just put them ahead of GS because of their veteran experience and leadership. :manny:


GS is still a young team, but they are a wild card in the west IMO. Harrision Barnes is gonna help them alot and I think Klay Thompson is gonna have a breakout year. Plus they got Bogut who is arguably the top defensive C in the league and If Steph Curry stay healthy they could be dangerous. They just gotta play D consistently.

They think Austin Rivers is the next Iverson. I don't get it either. Is Davis a better nba defender than Okafor was?

Nobody is anticipating that game. The Wolves can't see us.
